I am looking for a mobo that supports pcie 2.0 and is good for oc'ing. Would prefer not to go over 150 bucks. If you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks

Do you want to run an Intel chipset or an AMD chipset?
Do you want ATX or Micro-ATX?

Re: pcie 2.0 for intels
i think apop means an intel chipset or a Nvidia chipset
for 150 i dont think youll get one except maybe thruogh some outragous sale. the cheapest x38 ive seen is like 200

Re: pcie 2.0 for intels
Thanks for the input guys! I decided to pick up a asus p5k. Later this year i will prolly jump to a nicer board with ddr3 and upgrade my video again.
*Edit* Changed my mind bought the asus striker II with the nvidia 780i chipset

Re: pcie 2.0 for intels
Well changed to yet another mobo. Did a bios update on the striker 2 (well i tried at least) and it blew up
. wouldn't post past detecting dram. So after much cursing and some cooling off
(didn't want to throw the board once i pulled it). I yanked the board bought it back to tigerdirect and swapped it out for the asus maximus formula. i was able to oc my q6600 to 3.2 in just a short bit of time. Much happier with this board.
